As I've wrapped my head around it, Guix doesn't believe in "upgrades"
and "downgrades", just in changes in dependencies. So if the version
string loses the leading "v" I suppose ASCIIbetically v2.49.1 is a
higher value than 2.49.1, but Guix just sees that before it was v2.49.1
and now it's 2.50 so it's time for a change in installed files.
Just like if you never run 'guix pull' on a new system it'll continue
downgrading overtime.
